[Lalaith]

This is just dreadful. The loss of good Azaelia, of course, but also of our gallant Ranger, through my suggestion. When I returned to the village last night, I little suspected I would find that my more or less random vote would have such dark and dire consequences. I honestly expected that my suggestion would be lost in the melee of voting, after all, there were 17 of us.
Brave Kath, wherever your spirit roams, my humble apologies. I am quite mortified, and if the village now turns on me, I won't be in the least surprised.

But please, fellow villagers, wherever your vote goes, let your voices be heard in future. Remember, "for evil to triumph it only needs the good to do nothing."
